I am predicting that nationally, at least two costume-wearing clowns will be shot and killed on Halloween by people who will be very quick on the trigger.
Some people are using the fear inspired by horror movies involving killer clowns to dress up and scare the living daylights out of other people. It isn’t funny. There are tons of videos on YouTube of various pranks, with clowns jumping out of bushes, brandishing weapons, laughing crazily and chasing their frightened victims down the streets. This has been going on for a while, but it really picked up this year on social media.
People are not acting rationally—both the clowns and the victims are prone to miscalculate and someone may die. It’s not just a U.S. thing either—it’s going on internationally too. I just watched a video of a man going berserk after being ambushed by a clown in broad daylight and breaking a bottle over the clown’s head in London. If someone tells you to “wait here!”, RUN!!
Everyone needs to settle down and think about what’s happening.
